I don't think he's "like" 15. He's a Camaro owner (SRT4, that's a sedan, right?) who's been on the forum for a couple years and has noticed some trends here and in the Camaro community. This is a discussion board. He's allowed to discuss his experiences.

I'm big on research, so I was pouring over this board along with other sources for weeks prior to signing up. Overall, I think this forum is an incredible resource with a great sense of community, thanks to Tran, the mods, and most posters working to be civil. A mod mentioned the other day we have 30k members. We're our own city! In any group that large, you get a cross section of humanity with the requisite personality/ temperament clashes.

To the OP, I hope you can ignore the obnoxious, insecure few and just enjoy your car! I'm with you - love car shows, a beautiful car is a beautiful car. Mods, no mods - even if something isn't my style, I can appreciate the care and effort others put into it and the pride they feel in their cars. As the saying goes, guns don't kill people, people do: Camaros don't make people jerks, they started out that way. See post quoted above. No Camaro, yet bad attitude...

Along those lines, to the newbie I quoted, welcome. There are plenty here who don't have their Camaros yet, or who have other vehicles and just enjoy shooting the breeze about cars. I hope you take a little time to read the TOS, and some threads and posts here to get a feel for the forum. Perhaps then your second post won't be an insult to a fellow poster.
